Review auto-updates to your transactions in your web browser

On your Transactions page, there are icons to the right of auto-updated transactions in place of the checkmark button that marks a transaction as reviewed.

  • Transactions that were automatically merged have a merge icon.
  • Transactions that were automatically categorized have a thumbs up icon.

To review the auto-updates, on the left-side menu, click Accounting > Transactions, then:

  • If the transaction was automatically categorized you can either confirm the category or change it. Click the thumbs up icon to confirm, or recategorize the transaction. Confirming or recategorizing removes the purple dot on the transaction. If other unreviewed transactions were categorized under the same category, you will also see a View other transactions button to review those transactions.
  • If the transaction was automatically merged, click the merge icon. You can confirm or unmerge. This removes the purple highlight on the transaction. Learn how to unmerge automatically merged transactions.

If a transaction has both been automatically categorized and merged, you can review the categorization, then the merge separately.

Once you’ve verified the transaction is accurate, click the checkmark button to the right of the transaction to mark it as reviewed.
